I cannot recommend Mirriam highly evnough. She has an outstanding ability to truly understand and offer insightful guidance, even in the most challenging situations. Her empathetic approach creates a safe and supportive environment, making it easy to open up and explore difficult emotions. What sets her apart is her ability to offer fresh perspectives and alternative ways of thinking, which has been invaluable in my journey. If you're looking for a therapist who is not only compassionate but also incredibly skilled at helping you navigate life’s complexities, I strongly recommend her.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mirriam has been amazing. Really helpful, understanding and supportive during what has been a very difficult time for me. I would absolutely recommend and I hope to be able to return to her in the future.

Reviewed June 2024

The simple solution that seems to be hiding just under your nose, that conversation that scratches the itchy you just can't seem to reach, the feeling of being heard and understood is next to none when talking with someone who knows what they are doing. I THANK YOU Mirriam, for the short time we had thus far has been very insightful.

Mirriam is a wonderful therapist. I’ve only had one session thus far. She has listened to my struggles and issues and has gotten me to dive deeper already. It really feels like she listens and takes on board what I am saying. I’m excited to continue my journey with her!

Reviewed April 2024

Mirriam so far has been completely professional and one of the best therapists I've ever had. She has helped me realised so many underlying causes to the issues I've been having and has helped me come up with ways to resolve my issues. It's very early days but so far I am optimistic we can make some really positive changes to my life.
